David M. Haghighi, Esq.

Los Angeles Immigration Lawyer

David M. Haghighi

Attorney

Mr. Haghighi is a Certified Specialist in Immigration & Nationality Law, by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization. As an Iranian Jew he came to the United States 40 years ago fleeing persecution. He was granted asylum status giving him an opportunity to safely stay in the United States and obtain all the benefits this wonderful country has to offer.

​

Mr. Haghighi has made it his life's mission to help others from all walks of life who are fleeing persecution, want a new start in this country, or have come to this land seeking the American dream. During the last 18+ years, Mr. Haghighi has consistently travelled all over the United States defending his clients in various immigration courts from deportation and removal, whether in detained or non-detained settings. He has successfully represented thousands of clients before the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and various United States Circuit Court of Appeals legitimatizing their status here, allowing his clients to live and work in the United States.

​

Mr. Haghighi received his undergraduate degree from UCLA and his law degree from Southwestern University School of Law. During law school Mr. Haghighi externed for the Honorable Alan M. Ahart, United States District Court, Central District, California.

​

As a lawyer and advocate, Mr. Haghighi has learned that not everybody succeeds. This is why an attorney who, like Mr. Haghighi, knows the law, is attentive to detail, compassionate, and willing to vigorously fight on behalf of his clients, helps increase the chances of success. Mr. Haghighi routinely represent clients in a wide range of complex immigration issues all across the United States.
